It looks as though Lindsay Lohan has reported that her lesbian romance with Samantha Ronson may not go the distance because she “loves men too much.” It’s been rumored she has been sending text messages to Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford.
As reported in the The Sun:
“Linds is adamant she’s not a lesbian and still loves men. She says Sam is the only girl she would go for” and “She has been telling everyone she’s still into guys.”
Perhaps just a friend, or maybe a confused person…or maybe she really is a mean girl and was just having fun with Samantha’s emotions?

According to Star Magazine:
Mandy Moore has put mom Stacy on her Do Not Call list.
The pop star-actress has refused to speak to Stacy since March, when she left Mandy’s dad, Don, for a woman!
“When Mandy’s mom came out as a lesbian and took up with Claudette Laliberte, Mandy felt betrayed,” a source tells Star. “She always believed that her mom and dad were happy and that her mom was straight. Now she has no idea what to believe and feels as if she’s been lied to her entire life.”
Their estrangement is now causing problems between Mandy and her soon-to-be-married older brother, Scott. According to the source, Mandy has warned him that if their mom is at his wedding later this year, she’s not coming.

Fairfield police say Dabrowski shoved a woman by her face and ripped a necklace off of her partner’s neck.
Dabrowski has denied pushing anyone or pulling off the necklace.
Coming Out Isn’t Easy for Everyone

Flora Hernandez was 18 when she realized she was gay. But it wasn’t until she was 22 that she finally worked up the courage to come out to her family and friends.
Living in a small town, she said she was worried about how people would react.
“Telling my mom, who is an older, Hispanic, Christian woman was hard. She took it very hard and became depressed,” Hernandez, now 33 and vice director of GLBT Victoria, said. “She thought she did something wrong but after time she did learn to accept it.”
Hernandez’s story isn’t unusual. Coming out and telling family and friends that you’re gay isn’t always easy. But since 1988, National Coming Out Day has been trying to make the experience better, Hernandez said.
“The main idea behind the event is to give people who want to come out the opportunity to and a place where they can make friends and feel comfortable,” she added.
